My name is Bella Claudine Carmen King, I'm 11 years old and I live in a family where my dad can't be home at the end of everyday, he only comes home when it's someone's birthday and Christmas. My mum always talk to him on the phone telling him that they are getting a divorce, but in reality she still loves him so she never got the divorce. My 8 year old brother, Daniel Justin Eric King always cries when he hears my mum talking to dad on the phone, so everytime I try to comfort him.

One day mum and dad agreed that my brother and I can go visit dad for the school holidays, I was surprised, but Daniel was terrified. Mum told us to go pack our bags, and as we did I also packed my First Aid Kit just to be sure. My brother saw what I was doing and asked "What are you doing", I told him "What if we crash, what if we got hurt, what if we got lost if we crashed?", my brother was confused so I said "I don't want any of us to get hurt if the helicopter crashes." He said "You know if we crash, blame the person flying it". Daniel packed his bag with water, food, and raw meat in case we starve.

When it's finally time to go I was ready, but Daniel refused to get in the helicopter. Mum yelled "Daniel Justin Eric get in or you won't see your father!", he was still terrified but he still wanted to see dad, so he got in.
We said 'Bye' to mum and flew out of her sight, I didn't want to leave, but dad couldn't take a day off to visit. On the way Daniel kept crying, I think he felt something was going to happen, but I still tried to comfort him by telling him "it's going to be okay", he wiped his tears and said "okay".

We were flying over the woods because the pilot said 'It's my short cut', when the pilot finally realized that the fuel was low he said "ah oh 'Calling to Shaun, Calling to Shaun, we have low fuel may I use backup fuel' , 'Shaun, we are low on fuel, should I use backup' this is not good" I think this is what Daniel thought of.

"Alright kids I'm just going to land the helicopter and all will be okay," said the pilot. When he looked at the fuel again it was so low that the alarm went off. There was no time to land, we had to jump. The pilot went in low and slow. When we were close to the ground I yelled "bad idea!", but the pilot didn't budge and yelled for us to jump, but it was too late WE CRASHED!

I opened my eyes after the crash and I looked around for Daniel but the pilot didn't breath, so I climed out and got my bag and Daniels bag (in case I find him). I turned around and walked along side the river I yelled "oh my gosh DANIEL!", I ran up to Daniel PHEW he was breathing. I STARTED CRYING.

I waited until he woke up but he didn't yet, so I got up and used my bottle and poured some water on his face he SCREAMED "ahhhhhh it's cold". "Phew are you okay?" I said. "I'm fine Bella, why?" replied Daniel. "You jumped out the window!" I added. Daniel said "oh that's right, I was too scared so I jumped out the window and landed in the river". "Phew, okay let's go through the woods and find dad's house, here is your bag".

We were walking for a half an hour, but we didn't get to the end of the woods. As we were walking I saw Daniel walking on the slippery edge of the cliff. "Daniel get away from that slippery edge" I called out to him but he didn't budge. I yelled "Daniel, please get away from the edge", but he didn't listen.

As he was walking he finaly realized that he was walking on the edge, he was so terrified that when he yelled, 'Help', he slipped before I could reach him. I leaned over to see if he is going to hit the boulders and he did I called out his name a couple of times but he didn't answer. So I knew that I needed to get help.

I couldn't stop thinking about Daniel, I needed to remember where he fell. So I walked for as long as I could, but I heard someone talking. It said 'Hello? Is anyone there?'. I was terrified because you don't know who you are talking to (STRANGER DANGER), but I didn't care I just wanted to get help for Daniel. I yelled "here!", it was wasn't sure where I was and yelled back, "Where are you?".

I told it where I was and then it showed itself "you're a wolf?", "a talking wolf?" I said confused. "Yes, I am. Hey I have never talked to a human before so do you want to be friends?" asked the wolf. I was unsure about this, but it felt right. "Umm sure, what is your name?" I asked. The wolf answerd "my name is WhiteWolf, and your are?". "My name is Bella" I said, "Bella who?" WhiteWolf added.

"Bella Cladine Carmen King" I answered. "Oh wow, nice name I love it" said WhiteWolf". I stopped and thought for a while. I was thinking about Daniel, I needed to get help but who and where. I started crying as WhiteWolf and I were walking to the end of the woods, she was worried about me.

"What's wrong Bella was it something I said?" WhiteWolf asked me. I answered her with a crying voice "I have to get help for my brother Daniel", I couldn't help it so I kept crying. WhiteWolf asked me "what's wrong where is he?", I answered "he fell of the slippery edge by the cliff over there, and he didn't answer me when I called. I have to get help". We continued to walk in silence.

When we got to the other side of the woods I saw dad's house, but WhiteWolf didn't want to come out of the woods. "What's wrong? You can come" I said, she just shook her head and said "this place has bad memories for me". I asked her to wait until I came back. I ran to dad's house. I knew he was in there because he was expecting me and Daniel to visit.

When I came to the door I knocked, dad opend the door and was so relieved that I was there. "Bella, where were you?" He asked me, I told him "not now dad we have to help Daniel". "Where is he? What happened?", I answered "At the slippery cliff, now come on, we have to help him". We ran back to the woods.

As dad and I were running back to help Daniel, WhiteWolf wasn't there. All I could think of now was Daniel. We ran all the way to the cliff and dad called the ambulance.

Dad was terrified, but he knew its going to be all right. The ambulance and rescue crew arrived to get Daniel safely to higher ground. After a couple of hours he was on his way to the nearest hospital. When we got there, they had already stabilized him and moved him to his own room.

We sat there, tired, we wanted to go to bed but we stayed until Daniel woke up. We were so glad when he finally woke up and that he only had a couple of scars. He told me: "Bella I had a dream. I was a talking White Wolf running through the woods with you and my name was WhiteWolf". Till this day, I don't know if it was all just in my imagination.
